I just wanted you to know
I never had any desire
to take care of another living thing
until you laid your head in my lap.
I never got the chance to tell you
I believed heaven to be the sound
of your breathing as you fell asleep,
so I told him instead.
It wasn't quite the same,
but I guess it was close enough.
